Compared to Winterfish this is a lighter more quaffable IPA but
it still packs a IBU punch and has a grapefruit nose. I really like
the balance of the hops and the malt which puts this beer a cut
above a lot of the local IPA's (except possibly Spinnakers or Tree).
I am going to hoard this beer and also buy some Winterfish too
since good U.S. beer can disapear in a matter of weeks in B.C.

Bought in the 12 oz brown bottle "certified organic"
great foamy white head atop a lovelly amber/orange beer very nice looking stuff.
the aroma as would be expected froman IPA is mainlly hops , hops, hops!
mmm this is a weird tasting IPA..i taste the hops ok but i get a sort of soapy taste in my mouth..its not pleasant , happily it doesnt linger but it knocked a whole point off my score.
very nice on the tongue intrigueing but not overwhelming.
Would be better drinkable if the soapy taste wasn't there..maybe I got a bad bottle or something? (551 characters)

A sparklingly clear amber color as it sets in the glass with a modest sized head that dissipates rather quickly leaving a nice bit of lace to cover the glass. Hop floral nose that is malt sweet, fresh and crisp, a real treat for the senses, start is also malt sweet, the top middling in its feel, acidity is moderate and the hops spectacular in their spiciness, dry as a bone aftertaste and a quite good representative to the style.

This beer pours a nice amber color with a light head. This beers aroma is that of intense hops with strong floral, citrus and pine scents. This aroma is repeated in the taste with a bitter hoppy favor of floral, citrus and pine. This beers malt flavors are subdued by the hops but not only is that typical of the style but refreshing after your mouth gets watering after smelling the hops. This beer is sold as organic.

This style of IPA is the domestic style as opposed to the higher proof export style. (508 characters)

Beer is hazy copper in color. Small particulates are observed in suspension. Caramel malt and citric hop tones mix on the nose. The taste is not as "over-the-top" bitter as I expected, but very nice nonetheless. There is a bitterness evident. But what's even more enjoyable are the hop tastes. There's a unique twist on the hop taste that is hard to describe in this beer. A dry, dandelion, citric, piney, herbal blend that is very pleasing (at least to my buds). The malt backing is sufficient. I pick up notes of pale and caramel malts. A lingering dryness and bitterness (which is bigger than I first thought). Medium-full body. Great taste = great drinkability. Yet another solid West Coast IPA. (699 characters)
